Building Department Hosting Free Building Safety Conference – May 20
Ridgewood NJ, “To help raise awareness of building safety, the Ridgewood Building Department will proudly celebrate Building Safety Month during May. Building Safety Month is a public safety awareness campaign to help individuals, families, and businesses understand what it takes to create safe, resilient, affordable, and energy-efficient homes and buildings.
The public is invited to attend the Ridgewood Building Safety Conference on May 20, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. to be held at Village Hall in the fourth floor courtroom. In keeping with this year’s national Building Safety Month theme, “Resilient Communities Start with Building Codes”, Ridgewood Building Department staff will present a two hour forum focusing on fire safety, disaster safety and mitigation, backyard and pool safety, energy efficiency and green construction.
We will also be discussing department operations, such as the recently enacted “Permit Amnesty Program”, how to effectively navigate through the construction permit application process, scheduling and inspection procedures.”
